Mooney (Achilles) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's injury report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
As the Falcons emerge from their Week 12 bye, Mooney again is dealing with an Achilles injury, but after a limited practice Wednesday he experienced an upgrade one day later, setting him up to play this Sunday against the Chargers. He's averaging 4.4 catches for a career-high 64.6 yards per game, with a career-high five TDs in 11 appearances. The target volume (7.4 per game) doesn't quite match what Mooney got during his 1,055-yard breakout season in 2020 (8.2 targets per game), but his per-target efficiency in Atlanta is better than it ever was in Chicago, with the wideout averaging career highs for yards per catch (14.8) and yards per target (8.8).
